Give Kids a Smile

With dental care being the most prevalent unmet health need among American children and the ever rising costs of health care casing dental insurance to become a luxury, it is important to provide access to dental services to children in need.

Through a partnership between Forsyth County Schools, local dental practices and United Way, smiles are brightened on the first Friday in February through Give Kids a Smile Day.

Students from families in need who are identified through dental screening at their schools as needing some sort of dental care, receive free dental services through the generosity of participating local dental practices. Services include x-rays, cleanings, sealants, fluoride treatments and in some cases, more extensive procedures.

Over the past 8 years, approximately 750 children and youth have received services through Give Kids A Smile Day. Without the support of local dental practices, many of these students would go untreated. United Way thanks those local dental practices who give so generously:

Live United

It's a credo. A mission. A goal. A constant reminder that when we reach out a hand to one, we influence the condition of all. We build the strength of our neighborhoods. We bolster the health of our communities. And we change the lives of those who walk by us every day.
